Everything Everywhere Daily - King Leopold and the Congo Free State

In the late 19th century, during the scramble for Africa, King Leopold II of Belgium seized a large landmass in Central Africa. 

By doing this, he created the Congo Free State, but this name was a misnomer as it was anything but free. 

King Leopold’s rule over the Congo Free State was defined by tales of brutality, horrific conditions, and massive amounts of death. 

Learn about King Leopold’s Congo Free State on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Ken Jaworowski’s new crime novel ‘What About the Bodies’ has a surprising tender side

Ken Jaworowski is out with a new crime novel with a surprising tender side. What About the Bodies is set in a fictional town past its glory days with a shuttered steel plant, closed coal mines, and a community that everyone talks about leaving. In today’s episode, the New York Times editor and author speaks with NPR’s Ayesha Rascoe about the three characters who converge in his story, the failed novels that predated this project, and why Jaworowski says he’s a better editor than writer.

Healthcare in the US is a business … but does that mean that doctors actually make money on vaccines?

Today on the show, we talk with doctors who explain the financial reality behind vaccines and how RFK Jr’s words and actions could harm public health.
